	A look at the Boeing 787 Dreamliner vs the Airbus A380, comparison, cabin detail, images, pictures, argument, ...
		Add to this claims of fewer emissions, less noise, and a seat capacity stretching from the median 555 to a staggering 800 (double the heaving bottoms on a B747), and it’s small wonder airline accountants are beaming.
		The Boeing 787 cabin will offer a visually relaxing “sweeping archways” design, window shades whose opacity can be altered at the flick of a button, greater humidification of cabin air, and a sky simulation effect through the use of colour changing light-emitting diodes in the aircraft ceiling.
		By 1949, double-decker Boeing 377 Stratocruisers were plying the North Atlantic with opulent digs, and even living rooms, for first class passengers.

	B-29 Superfortress - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Boeing B-29 Superfortress (Boeing Model 341/345) was a four-engine heavy bomber flown by the United States Army Air Force.
		Boeing incorporated these into a redesign of the Model 341, and resubmitted it to the Army Air Corps as Model 345, which would become the XB-29.
		Worse, the cowling Boeing designed for the engine was too close (out of a desire for improved aerodynamics), and the early cowl flaps caused problematic flutter and vibration when open in most of the flight envelope.

	Boeing 377 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was one of the great post-war propeller airliners until made obsolete by the coming of the 707 and other first generation jetliners.
		The 377 was the flagship of the Pan Am fleet.
		The worst single accident occurred on April 29, 1952 when "the separation of the no.2 engine and propeller from the aircraft" caused Pan American World Airways Flight 202 to crash in the jungle near Carolina, Brazil killing all forty-one passengers and nine crew.

	707 or 367?
		The KC-97 tanker version of the Boeing model 367 was in service and was slow in comparison to the new B-47 and B-52 jet bombers.
		Boeing's first internal design studies for jet transports were done by separate groups, one using model number 367 and the other using model number 473.
		Boeing and Seattle proudly followed progress on the 707, which was expected to be the country's first jet airliner as well as a replacement for the military C-97 and KC-97.

		The Boeing 737 is a popular short-to-medium range commercial passenger jet aircraft continuously manufacturedby Boeing Commercial Airplanes since 1967.Over 5,000 have been sold since its introduction in 1967, more than any other commercialairliner, and more than Airbus ' entire product line.
		The 737 was born out of Boeing's need to field a competitor in the short-range, small capacity jetliner market which had beenopened up by the BAC 1-11 and the Douglas DC-9.
		Boeing was badly behind however when the 737 program was initiated in 1964, as both of these rivals were already into their flight certification programmes.

		Called the 367-80 for secrecy (given this number to appear as a new version of the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser), the prototype came to be known as the "Dash 80".
		Boeing answered this with the 707-320, a lengthened-fuselage and wingspan version of the -120, specifically with trans-Atlantic nonstop travel in mind.
		The 707 was the mainstay for long-distance domestic, and especially international travel, until the arrival of the Boeing 747 wide-bodied jetliner in 1970.

	Academy 1/72 Boeing 377 Stratocruiser Preview
		After the war, Boeing was again able to concentrate on civil airliners and it was natural for them to further develop the C-97 into an airliner.
		First flight of the model 377 occurred in July 1947 and less than two years Pan American was flying the plane on its Honolulu to San Francisco run.
		Due to engine overheating problems and propeller glitches that Boeing was never able to completely eliminate, the B.377 wasn't the commercial success of the DC-6/7 and Constellation and less than 100 were built.

	Academy's Boeing 377 in Pan Am's Interim Livery
		Pan American was the original and largest user of the Boeing Stratocruiser. They ordered 20, (Boeing model 377-10-26). Then purchased the prototype Model 377-10-19 from Boeing after the flight test program was completed and converted it to a —26 as well
		All of the Pan Am Stratocruisers were traded back to Boeing for new 707s in 1958-9.
		This scale is probably not the first choice of most airliner builders, so markings for the other 377 airliners are not common. Liveries Unlimited has done the basketball Pan Am scheme, and there is also a set of the square windowed Northwest scheme and a BOAC bird from Flying Colors.
